Food for thought
Ann Lyle (Letters, 13 February) worries about the cost and feasibility of food waste collection. We have had our bin for a year now and use it constantly.
If you think we are wasting good food you would be wrong. This bag is filled with used tea bags, banana skins and peelings. This is used to make compost for parks and gardens.
I was pleased when we got this scheme, which many other areas of the country have had for many years.
One less tea bag in landfill can only be a good thing.
